Birdy Nam Nam – Abbesses

Within this past year, I got introduced to what Hip-Hop really is by my homebwoi. Took me “under his wing” you can say. My interests has pretty much expanded. A year ago I wouldn’t have thought Birdy Nam Nam was interesting at all. Team of 4 DJs, hailing from Paris, Crazy-B, DJ Pone, DJ Need and Little Mike. Among their accolades, winners of the DMC Technics 2002 World Team Championships. This is them performing “Abbessess”.

Snoop Dogg – That Tree (Music Video)

I saw this video on mute with my homeboi and we just stared at it laughing. Snoop and Cudi had to be high in this. The dance moves Cudi does is hilarious. Nice song though.

Some of the catchiest tunes I’ve ever heard on a video game, hands down goes to “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” on the Nintendo 64 console.

Check it out a few of the tracks below, link to mixtape below as well.

DJ Dub, Furious Styles x Jay Electronica

I was put on to Jay Electronica a little over a month ago. The dude is absolutely dope. “Exhibit C” is a must listen to everyday. Alongside of DJ Dub & Furious Styles, Jay gathered up tracks himself and placed them on the mixtape. Props to “The Hood Nerd” site for the tracklisting. Check it out.

Janelle Monáe – Tightrope (Music Video)

I remember when I used to literally sit at home and wait for specific videos to come on BET. Videos during that time were memorable and you didn’t mind watching time and time again. An element that has been removed from modern videos is the art of dance. In addition to some quite interesting dancing, the artist, Janelle Monáe, provided a quite addicting song as well.
